Great North Woods

At the Adair Country Inn & Restaurant, a serene couples’ retreat halfway between Boston and Montreal, history begins with a romantic gesture. The country estate was built in 1927 by Frank Hogan as a wedding gift to his only daughter, Dorothy Adair Hogan. Transformed over the years into one of the region’s most renowned country inns, it has hosted presidential hopefuls, Supreme Court justices, governors, senators, famous actors and sports figures. Visitors are inspired by its scenic Bethlehem, NH grounds, walking trails and colorful gardens, designed by the Olmsted Brothers, sons of the man who designed New York City’s Central Park. Today, its 11 stylish rooms, some with four-poster feather beds, or original furnishings, or deep soaking tubs, provide a haven for those seeking a respite from the stresses of modern life.
